Chapter 275 – 276. Sometimes Think Simply.

“What happened last night?”

Neung So-hwa looked at Seon-woo with a questioning expression and asked.

“Why?”

“It feels different.”

“Feeling?”

“Yes, until yesterday it seemed like a sword made of miscellaneous iron, but today it has changed to a sword made of high-quality iron.”

“…”

Seonwoo bit her mouth shut at her sharp words.

Still, the body has reached the middle of the hwagyeong-Gyeong-Gyeong, but how can the metaphor be like that?

It’s junk!?

“Thank you. For saying it’s good quality iron.”

“Seriously. Did you break the wall?”

She asked Seonwoo with a questioning look on her face.

“I had an epiphany.”

Sunwoo gave a short answer to her question.

“Congratulations. Now you won’t be beaten anywhere!”

After hearing Seonwu’s words, Neungsohwa smiled broadly and congratulated him.

And Sunwoo, who heard her words, made a complicated expression.

It was because she thought that her own standards were strange.

Since when did the standard of getting hit and not going to Hwagyeong-sang-gyeong become?

‘There’s no malice, right? I’m sure it will.`

Although his cheeks rose slightly, he was well aware that he had no malice toward Neung So-hwa.

I’m sure he’ll say that with a happy heart.

“In fact, even yesterday, I was worried that I would be beaten because I was so weak. But today, I don’t think I’ll die in a guest house!”

He said with a bright smile as if he was really happy.

“Large fire.”

Sunwoo looked at her trumpet flower and called her.

“Why?”

Jacaranda put on her questioning expression and she asked him.

“You are unlucky.”

“What… What!?”

After hearing Seonwoo’s words, Neung Sohwa asked with a shocked expression.

Wasn’t she obviously complimenting herself!?

But you can’t

Suddenly what does that mean?

“How could you say I’m unlucky!?”

“No, I’ll cancel.”

At that time, Sunwoo added an afterword.

“Isn’t it? She can’t be lucky as the original woman.”

After hearing Seonwu’s words behind him, Sohwa Jaung opened her mouth as if she was relieved.

“Totally unlucky.”

However, I couldn’t help but be shocked by Sunwoo’s words that continued.

Coo kung

Jacaranda felt something thump and fall in her head.

And resentment came up.

I praised him for reaching the heights, but what does this mean?

“…Why?”

“Not knowing why is especially unlucky!”

“Tell me! What is the reason!”

Jacaranda raised his voice and asked why.

If you don’t tell me why, how do you fix it?

“Think for yourself.”

Seonwoo answered her question in a calm manner.

Even if I tell her anyway, she won’t understand.

How could an unsalted genius like her know the heart of a genius like herself?

“…Uh…You are bad.”

Sunwoo’s plaintive reply made Jacaranda cry.

If you don’t tell me what’s wrong, won’t you make the same mistake?

But how come you don’t tell me why?

“You’re worse.”

“Huh! That’s right! She won’t talk to you even if she was the first woman!”

After hearing Seonwu’s short answer, Sohwa turned her head to her side as if pouting.

She seemed to express with her whole body that she was upset.

Seeing this, Seonwoo let out a smirk.

It was because I felt that my emotional expression had become richer after playing with Seolhyang recently.

The first time she said she was unlucky, she was sorry and didn’t know what to do, but now she’s pouting and turns her head away.

It was pretty cute.

“Upset?”

Sunwoo asked her with a mischievous smile on her face.

“I’m not pouting!”

At Sunwoo’s question, she raised her voice and denied it.

“You look pissed off?”

“I’m not mad, I’m just in a low mood!”

“That’s crazy.”

“Okay, I can’t communicate with you!”

“Calm down.”

“Don’t talk to me!”

Jacaranda pursed her lips, as if pouting tightly.

And that sight made Seonwoo’s heart pound.

I could never have imagined that I would be able to see this side of him.

It was because it was so stiff, respectful of etiquette, and had a strong antiquated feel.

However, after playing with Seolhyang, that old-fashioned feeling seemed to have disappeared.

Isn’t it the reaction of a woman who can be seen everywhere, only her way of speaking is slightly peculiar?

Sunwoo smiled slightly.

What changed through this journey was that she didn’t seem to be the only one.

Seonwoo was about to hand an apology to the pouting Jacaranda.

Jump

Suddenly, the carriage door opened and a familiar figure appeared.

“Hello!”

Seolhyang was an impressive beauty with playful eyes and starry eyes.

“Why did you come again!”

When she appeared, Jacaranda, who had been in pain, spat out her words harshly.

“I came to ride with you.”

Despite her harsh reaction, Seolhyang sat down with a smirk.

“You don’t have any close friends in the army? How come you only get on this carriage?”

“This wagon is more fun.”

Seolhyang answered Neung Sohwa’s question with a smile.

“I’m not having fun!”

“It’s fun being with Sojeo Neung.”

“…”

Seolhyang’s unexpected reply made Jacaranda lose her words.

Because this was not the reaction I was expecting.

What do you mean when you suddenly say something like that?

In an instant, the trumpeter felt a rush of pity.

It was because she thought that the woman had reacted too harshly when she thought of her that way.

“Me…Me too…Actually fun…”

The trumpeter looked at her and spoke slowly.

“How fun it is to tease.”

Seolhyang interrupted Jacaranda’s words and continued with her.

And her words made her jacaranda’s fine armie frown.

“I am not your teasing object!”

“Wasn’t it!?”

After hearing Neung So-hwa’s words, Seol-hyang made an exaggerated gesture and asked in surprise.

It was an action full of intentions to make fun of anyone.

“Don’t treat me like an idiot!”

“No fool. I can’t think of him that way.”

“But how can you say that words and actions are completely different!”

“Isn’t life not going the way you originally thought it would?”

“It’s sophistry! It can be practiced enough, but isn’t it not!”

“Hehe, I caught you.”

As soon as Seolhyang got into her carriage, she and Jacaranda started fighting again.

Seonwoo watched their argument silently and shook her head from side to side.

It was because she felt that it was too late to go quietly.

The inside of the carriage was soon filled with their voices.

*******

Rattle rattle

I hear the sound of a carriage shaking in my ears.

Heyyying

Then comes the neighing of horses.

“That’s why it’s so good…”

“No I’m not wrong!”

Then came the argument between Seolhyang and Neungsohwa.

Sunwoo slowly opened his eyes.

Then I looked ahead and saw Seolhyang and Jacaranda Hwa, who were still fighting.

Seonwoo put on a tired expression.

Judging from how dark the inside of the carriage was, it seemed that a considerable amount of time had passed since they fell asleep, but they had been fighting all this time.

Sunwoo thought.

Even though they were fighting, I wondered if the truth was that they were enjoying themselves more than anyone else.

Otherwise, how could they continue arguing like that all day?

Sunwoo opened his eyes and looked around him.

Then I looked to the side and saw Ma escort with wide eyes.

Maybe because the trumpeter was awake, he couldn’t sleep either.

Sunwoo felt a little pity.

Wouldn’t not being able to sleep be the same as listening to their conversations all day long?

I couldn’t help but feel pity.

Jjuwoouk

Seonwoo fully opened his eyes and stretched his body.

It was to wake up completely.

Thud

Then the carriage suddenly rattled, and his outstretched arm touched the ceiling of the carriage.

“What is it?”

Seonwoo asked the coachman as if he was embarrassed.

“It looks like we’ve arrived.”

“What if it arrives?”

“To the North Sea Ice Palace.”

In an instant, a deep smile formed on Sunwoo’s lips.

Finally, we arrived at the long-awaited North Sea Ice Palace.

It wasn’t just Seonwoo.

Neung So-hwa and Seol-hyang’s eyes twinkled, and Ma Ho-wei made a thrilled expression.

It has finally arrived

To the far, distant North Sea Ice Palace.

“Wow brother! I’m finally here!”

Seolhyang screamed in excitement as she spoke to Sunwoo.

“You’ve finally arrived. It’s been a tough journey.”

Neung So-hwa also uttered a word.

Everyone didn’t show it, but it seemed that the process of coming to the North Sea was quite arduous.

Everyone was brightly colored.

“Then why did you stop here?”

At that time, the coachman spit out the words with a questioning expression.

“Yes?”

Hearing his words, Seonwoo was sorry.

If you think about it, it was.

If you can see the North Sea Ice Palace, why do you mean to stop when all you have to do is give it a word?

“Why did you stop?

Seonwoo asked the coachman with an expression as if he did not know.

“That… It seems like they won’t open the walls.”

“A castle wall!?”

Hearing his words, Seonwoo put on a puzzled expression.

I was afraid that the entry process would not be smooth.

*********

Snug snug

Seonwu made his way to the front of the wagon slowly through the snow.

How long did it take

Before long, Seon-woo began to see the place where the wagon for the search party was located.

Numerous people, including Uncle Jeok and Unheo, were already gathering and talking there.

“Oh, welcome, Jang Dae-hyeop”

“Welcome. Jang Dae-hyeop”

When Seonwoo showed up, those gathered greeted him one by one.

Sunwoo slightly bowed his head to receive the greeting, then looked in front of him.

Looking ahead, the castle wall boasting an enormous size was revealed.

“Huh”

Seeing the scene, Seonwoo unknowingly let out a laugh.

I guessed that the wall would be piled up, but I never imagined that it would be this big.

The wall of the North Sea Ice Palace boasted an enormous size that was incomparable to the walls Seonwoo had seen so far.

The walls were huge.

It is even more so than the wall surrounding the Tianyu Palace and the Tang family’s solitary residence.

Sunwoo felt awe.

How could such a gigantic structure be built in this frigid North Sea?

It was as if they were witnessing the mysteries of mankind.

“What happened?”

Seonwoo, who had been staring blankly at the castle wall, slowly opened his mouth.

“The Ice Palace is not opening the gate.”

At that time, Cheongsong, who was next to him, answered.

“Why?”

“There is a problem inside, so they say they are not accepting outsiders for the time being.”

“Isn’t that what you mean by asking for extra money?”

“I don’t think so. They said they would give me an extra amount, but they stubbornly refused. They said they couldn’t open it no matter how much I gave them.”

“Hmm”

Hearing his words, Seonwoo fell into trouble.

The North Sea Ice Palace is located in the center of the vast North Sea, so it was a place that served as a transportation hub.

If you are a trader, it is well-maintained enough to stop by at least once, as well as being the most affluent place in the North Sea, so it was also famous as a resort.

In addition, it was a free place where not only tourists and traders but also criminals were infested because anyone was allowed to enter as long as they gave money.

However, I never imagined that I would refuse to enter such a North Sea Ice Palace.

“How could I not be persuaded?”

“I think it’s difficult. I kept trying to persuade him, but he completely blocked his ears.”

“Hmm”

After hearing Cheongsong’s words, Seonwu was troubled.

It was because I thought that it would be difficult to convince him because he stubbornly refused.

However, I couldn’t give up on entering here.

The place where the disciples disappeared was near the North Sea Ice Palace.

The North Sea Ice Palace had to be used as a base to continue the search.

If you continue to search while enduring homelessness, your body will not be able to withstand it.

Moreover, food was also running out, so he couldn’t turn around like this.

“What should I do?”

Cheongsong looked at Seonwoo and asked.

“Please give me your order.”

Unheo Sata asked Seonwoo.

“I’ll follow anyone.”

The fortune-teller also looked at Seon-woo with trusting eyes and said.

Sunwoo felt his head hurt.

It was because there would be a problem even if you forcibly broke through the gate here.

It could be like declaring war on the North Sea Ice Palace if you make a mistake.

Sunwoo lowered his head and struggled again and again.

To find the best way to enter the North Sea Ice Palace.

Hooked

Hooked

Hooked

It was then that he heard the sound of something falling into Sunwoo’s ear.

Sunwoo slowly raised his head and looked in front of him.

And he could see

I mean the back of a man who moves forward with his feet immersed in the snow.

A man with loosely grown hair tied back and a broad back.

It was a swordsman.

“Senior, where are you going!?”

Seonwoo, who saw this, shouted loudly with his eyes wide open.

Hahayou, you think too much.”

At Seonwoo’s question, the swordsman burst into a hearty laugh and continued.

“Sometimes I think simply.”

After he finished speaking, he moved even faster.

And soon he reached the gate of the North Sea Ice Palace.

The swordsman who reached the castle gate smiled deeply.
